C'est Finis!

I don't know why I had to put my title in French - perhaps because I've been listening to an audio book where some of the characters have French accents. Anyway, here it is!

The pattern is from Jamieson's Shetland Knitting Book #3, and was desigend by the "Two Old Bags" ladies. It's a nice size to sling over the shoulder, and seems very comfortable there. The yarn is Tahki Ambrosia Slim, which was great to work with. Too bad they don't make it anymore. I was lucky enough to find this at a big yarn sale a couple of years ago. I bought all they had.

Here's a close up of the button. It's a nice vintage button from my collection, and I think it goes perfectly with the bag. Keeps with the monochromatic coloring, but adds a little pizazz.

I probably won't be sending the bag off for a few weeks yet. For one thing, it's got to dry thoroughly. Also, I've got to find a few more goodies to put inside. I haven't participated in an exchange like this before, someone please tell me - should the goodies be knitting related, or can they be anything? Right now I have some of each. So much fun! Hope the recipient likes it...
